Wedding Beehives, Bridal Buns and the Eerie Sound of Wild Boars

Last week I threatened you all with a special broadcast live from the red carpet of life which I think is the best of all carpets. The occasion was a ceremony between two people who look like they’re still having an affair after four years of waking up in the same bed. That’s usually known as wedding.

But this is no ordinary love, this wedding was no regular jamboree. Natural silk, Italian lace, fine jewelry fashioned up by trekking shoes, Mountain Bikes and triclimate venture jackets. Ahead, a repertoire of smooth Proseco. In the back, acid house from the ’80s and the threatening echo of boars running, all in the restless setting of the Carpathians at the beginning of winter.

The cold was treacherous, the horizon mesmerizing, the bride beautiful. iPads were dead, phones out of signal range, wireless connections nonexistent. I could deliver you no special broadcast.

Thing is the same day a friend of mine booked a flight to the Middle East, Amman to be more precise, and I was supposed to let her know whether I’m in for the ride or not. In my mind I was, but technology gave me no chance to begin with. By the time the bridal suite got back to the ceremonial salon, the opportunity was already gone. But the salon was a travel in itself. Casualties from World War II used to be medically attended there more than 50 years ago. Traces of red communist sins were hidden to the naked eye, but not to mine.

I’m guessing though you’re not here reading this post because of your interest in history backtracking, but because you’re curious what wedding hairstyles are trending in the autumn of 2013.

1. There was a serious amount of autumn shades going on, varying from darkest brown to light hues of yellow leaves. An invasion of chestnut hair color roamed the salon, but somehow I didn’t find the reiteration disturbing. Hairstyles were innumerable and unique. Side-swept curls,

there was even a young girl, from the groom side I think, with an impeccable classic bob and cute crown highlights , perfect make-up for her exceeding jawline. She definitely had a diamond-shaped face, but no one except me noticed.

2. What guests lacked in chestnut colors they made up in dainty hats to elegantly fight the brisk wind of the rainy season we’re in. Hats are in fashion, clearly and will keep on acting as luxurious fashion statements.

3. At some point, my hair scanner hit the boiling point and a nice point that was. An icy-blonde girl in her late 20s with most tumbling blue eyes was sitting alone at a table for six. A medium graduated bob, no fringe, no layers, no texture whatsoever, just a neat hairstyle with blow-dried curls lightly finished with sculpting cream. She reminded me of Catherine Deneuve in Belle de Jour.

4. “What about the hot priest?”, you may be wondering. Dedication to superior entities rarely leaves room for trendy hairstyles and fine perfumes. Yet the bearded priest in his 50s confirmed hot clerics are still alive even if they’re old. Definitely a distinct species of ecclesiastic lifestyle, this priest had a hairstyle that reminded me of Toni&Guy faux hawks from 2012.

5. The bride didn’t run away, not with the priest, not with the prince. By the looks of it, the chosen groom has the Holy Ghost trapped inside. The groom had a clean combed look, perfect match for the bride’s braided bun.
